I can't stand watching this guy pitch. He looks like he should take some hits of speed before the game. He takes like 5 minutes in between pitches, and his wind up is in like slow motion. Even from the stretch he takes forever. Thats why hitters have a hard time hitting him because there about to fall asleep in between pitches. He also throws 50 times over to first base a game, and half of them are with people on base who don't even steal. Dice K could be in a nothing, nothing game and it will still take 4 hours for the game to end. Maybe over in Japan sleep walking is common.

He throws too many balls. At first I assumed it was the different strike zones, but now I've come to realize that he's got a rubber arm and that it must be against the Samurai code to to throw the ball within a foot of the strike zone on an 0-2 count.

Great point...I'd rather have a guy that works fast, doesn't throw to first, gives up 8 runs a game, burns out our bullpen, and gives us no chance to win!

As far as throwing over goes; he threw over 3 times in a row, next pitch the guy stole and tek tossed it into center field. You may not like watching him pitch, (and you don't have to watch the game) but the guy just came to the states and is getting better all the time...plus we have a chance to win just about every game he pitches.

Man, we Sox fans will whine about anything.

I have certain beefs which I'd like to share, also:

JD Drew lacks fire.
Pedroia needs a more compact swing.
Papi is Ichiro.
Manny is...well, being Manny.
Youks is no longer the Greek god of walks (stop hitting doubles!)
Lowell sacrificed 5 errors for 10 homers this season (don't you know you were essentially the 'player to be named later' with Beckett?)
Tek needs to smile more.
Coco needs to stop moving his fingers so much in his batting stance.
Lugo needs to hit a baseball.

There, I said it. We are an imperfect team...but hey, none of this is as serious as DiceK being too slow.

A far more serious problem than Dice-K taking an extra 5 seconds before pitches is Julio Lugo's major problem where he grabs his crotch every half minute.

If we're talkin' serious problems here, I'd like to mention the price of beer at Fenway

I though this was more of a horsing around type thread

Now that you mention it... Youkilis' beard kinda bothers me because it looks all scraggly. He should shave it. That will definitely lead the Red Sox starting a 10 game winning streak. Yup, shave the face Youk!!

When he first grew the beard in i honestly didn't recocgnize him. Its kind of funny with his batting stands and beard he looks like a cave man waiting to smash something.
